Step One: Call a funeral home/parlor that your church has a good connection with, and pre-arrange a trip to visit it with your group. (Most churches do LOTS of “business” with funeral homes, so this should not be a problem.) Step Two: The night of the Death Trip, have kids meet at the church. Start off the Death Trip by having every student write out their will. (You can get a copy of a standard, blank will off of the Internet. Just pass them out to the students and instruct them to fill in the blanks.) Step Three: Load the kids in the vans (each of which is driven by a responsible adult) and visit the funeral home of your choice. Have one or more of the staff members talk to your group about death and how some people deal with it well, while others are devastated by it. Allow the students to ask them questions. Thank them for their generosity and head back to the vans. Step Four: Leave the funeral home and head to the local cemetery. Huddle everyone around a pre-selected site and share with the students Jesus’ words on death and eternity. (Jesus talked about it a lot, so choose the passages that fit your group’s needs the best.) This might be a great place and time to lovingly share the gospel. Step Five:Finally, drive everyone back to the church where you give them a little while to debrief with you and the other adult leaders. Ask them stirring questions about their experience that evening and about any decisions they might have made. Added by Greg C. |
